    As an African American I grew up eating the cheapest foods in the stores and was always okay with that. Over the past year I've found out that i'm sensitive gluten, dairy and corn I also found out im allergic to soy/soybean oil, peanuts and cottonseed oil. I've learned a lot about food over the past year and now cook all my own meals. I try to educate other blacks about the importance of reading labels and not eating certain foods but all my information falls on death ears. I stopped eating 90% of the processed foods I use to eat. Most people have no idea what processed foods are (I know I didn't) and claim they rarely eat processed foods, yet they eat a ton of processedfoods. Cheap processed foods are expensive in the long run its better and cheaper just to eat the expensive whole foods. I'm know longer on thyroid meds and my ibs has clear up a ton and no more joint pains all the time. My skin looks healthy with no more dark spots!

      Wow! You know, I live in NC and I can say that the original “Black” way of eating in this state was a healthful, homemade diet. It’s the cheap processed foods that’s killing us, Blacks and Whites alike! But with the economic differences, our Blacks are suffering the poor health effects more. Keep spreading the word and being a great example to others.

I also have eliminated most processed food from my diet and try to share with family the benefits but they're not interested.. My husband is coming around, I made him some avocado toast on organic whole grain & seeds bread , he liked it😊 One step at a time..I won't stop sharing the benefits with others.

    Overweight parents.... this is what your kids will go through. Along with being bullied and having self esteem issues cos their clothes dont fit the way they want to when they look in the mirror. Its not just about just looking ugly. Thats only part of it.
    I lost 126 pounds in 15 months beginning in 2020. And have kept it off. Eating plant exclusive like this family. I was overweight all through my childhood and went through all the issues I mentioned above. I went from a UK size 22 to a UK size 6-8.
    I have no cravings for any foods I don't already eat, and got rid of lifelong suicidal depression by changing my diet to this way of eating. I also walk around 10 miles every day, walking to work and back and doing other walking.

    It's a first world problem, and a lot has to do with how disconnected from our food sources we are and lack of education on nutrition and wellness. Many adults are oblivious as to TDEE, macros, and even how many calories are in 1 lb of fat gain. Myself included until recently, there's so much misinfo out there too that it worked what healthy weight loss or nutrition even is, ppl go to extremes on either end and have no clue how to be in the middle. Just learning these things has helped empower me to make better choices and make changes, and I've already lost over 15 lbs in just under 4 wks.
    I agree there's a lot of bs preservatives and there's societal and mental health issues that can make the situation much worse, don't get me wrong. But a lot comes down to a lack of knowledge understanding and therefore a lack of empowerment in making better choices IMHO.

    The biggest thing for me from getting off sugar was how much energy I have now. Depending on sugar for energy is a recipe for disaster. Now that I am off sugar I do not crave sugar at all. People eat doughnuts, cake and Ice cream in front of me and I do not miss it at all. I look at doughnuts like an beautiful art project. Beautiful but not for consumption. Love sugar freedom! I was eating 400 to 500g of sugar a day. I was in the 410lb range and was on the fast track to an early grave. Giving up sugar has saved my life. Love eating more now without any shame or regret. Down to 320s and could not be happier. Sun Foods is 100% better than anything made in a lab. If he went on a 30 day sugar detox he would benefit greatly. Need to break addiction... After one week of sugar detox healthy food taste so good. Fruit is amazing Vegetables are exceptional. Kids are driven by taste and once they transform their tastebuds that is where the will see the real change. When you can enjoy fruit like a doughnut that is when you can sustain the long term success. Breaking the cycle is key.

Eating whole foods as whole food will get all the benefits you want based on all the studies ive seen.

      Exactly, I have hypothyroidism and I have to carefully select what I eat, otherwise I would be overweight-I’m not. Recently I treated myself to Chinese food (I do this once a year), and immediately gained 8-pounds. While yes it’s water weight, but my point is if I continued to eat bad foods I will gain more weight and become obese. It’s a week later I’ve lost five of those pounds and have three to go. I eat super clean and realize eating the bad foods is only a rare treat. I choose not to be fat and eat accordingly.

      Good to see you were able to find the solution. Have you looked into the carnivore/proper human diet?
      It sounds crazy but for 18 months I've been eating a diet that's 95% meat, eggs, butter and dairy. I'm 56 and haven't been this healthy since my 20s. It's mind boggling how great I feel. Crazy but it works.

    The animated movie “Wall-e” is a great movie to watch but unfortunately, it depicts what might happen to a world destroyed by humans and plagued with obesity. Obese people (almost 99% of the population, I think) use their “wheelchairs” to move around and don’t or can’t walk anymore. So sad that it’s a reality for the whole world now.

      The daughter was heading the same way. Getting podgy. And just cos dad didn't look overweight particularly, the worst fat is the visceral fat and if he ate the same food as they did he must've had plenty of that, it didn't just disappear. Guessing mom was the one visibly overweight. Actually dad looked heavier at the end than he did at the start.

    I appreciate what they're doing here, but I'm half an hour in and I just keep noticing a lot of oddball misconceptions. Like, the etymology guy knows NOTHING about etymology (What is a "wholefood expert"???). The "foods from the sun" thing is nice, but the energy that comes from the sun isn't thrown out of processed pasta, it's concentrated so your body gets MORE of it, not less. White sugar is essentially a super concentrated form of solar energy. The dad's guilt because he uses canned or frozen vegetables; I mean, these can actually be HEALTHIER than fresh, depending on salt content and how long the "fresh" veggies have been sat in the shop. What functional difference is there between walking around all day indoors and walking around outdoors? So, if I use a treadmill, my body will somehow burn calories differently than if I go outside and breathe fresh air? Also, who told this guy wild animals are constantly in motion? Energy economy is a big deal when you don't have food stores. Most creatures actually try to conserve energy. Play, in wild animals, is often about more than movement; it's often about learning how to hunt or socialization. As great as it might be to help a kid lose weight, these kinds of comments make me wonder about the quality of the information he's being given.
